Can having a collapsed lung be heredity?

Tall, thin people may be prone to having a lung collapse for no apparent reason (such as an injury). This is called a spontaneous pneumothorax. Since being tall and thin can be an inherited trait, then the answer is to your question could be yes.

Having a lung collapse is certainly painful and frightening. If either your son or his cousins smoke, it would be advisable for them to stop smoking. Smokers are more prone than non-smokers to having a lung collapse.

You and your son should discuss this with his doctor, and the cousins should do so as well. You could also research this topic on the internet, using trustworthy sources such as mayoclinic.com and merck.com. There's a lot of information on the 'net, and much of the medical stuff is misinformation, not information.

Good luck - hope this never happens to your son again! .

People can inherit weaknesses and be similar... there maybe a root cause that is the same.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
